FIBER OPTIC SENSORS FOR FENCE, PIPELINE AND DATALINE

PROTECTION
FiberPatrol-PRs advanced fiber-optic technology provides up to 16 km (10 mi) of
protection when used in perimeter applications. For protection of buried pipelines
against Third-Party Interference (TPI), FiberPatrol-PR provides up to 50 km (31
mi) of protection. No powered or conductive items are required in the field, making
the sensor completely immune to EMI and lightning and intrinsically safe in the
presence of explosive atmospheres.

FiberPatrol-PR accurately locates intrusions even when there are multiple

simultaneous intrusions or in the presence of non-localized environmental noise
that would overwhelm the location capability of other long-range fiber-optic sensors.
FiberPatrol-PRs resilient design allows detection to continue right up to the point of a
cut in the sensor cable. When installed in a redundant configuration, FiberPatrolPR
protects the full perimeter even after a cable cut.

FIBERPATROL-PR FOR WALLS

FiberPatrol-PR can be installed to monitor walls, building
facades, rooftops, bridges and other structures. In this
application the sensor detects any attempt to climb over a wall
that disturbs the sensor cable including such intruder actions
as leaning a ladder against the edge of the wall, tossing a rope

CONFIGURATION

over the wall, or grabbing the edge of the wall to pull up.
FIBERPATROL-PR FOR PIPELINE PROTECTION
FiberPatrol-PR is ideal for protecting pipelines and other
in-ground infrastructure from Third-Party Interference (TPI). A
single sensor can provide protection for up to 50 km (30 mi) of
sensor cable buried along the pipeline. FiberLR detects manual
or machine digging, whether from intruders intent on damaging

FiberPatrol-PR

or tapping the pipeline or those accidentally digging near the

CONFIGURATION

pipelines location. By providing an early warning and the

precise location of an incident, the sensors helps responders
prevent costly damage.

DETECTION SETTINGS
The advanced detection algorithm incorporates thresholds,
spatial parameters and timing parameters. Detection settings
include alarm threshold, disturbance threshold, event life
persistence and duration threshold.
SENSOR CABLES
FiberPatrol-PR uses single-mode fiber within
telecommunications-grade cable. Depending on the
configuration, the sensing function requires one or two fibers
additional fibers within the cable can be used for other
communications purposes like IP / Ethernet and / or Senstars
proprietary Silver Network protocol (for communication with
other Senstar sensors like OmniTrax buried RF, ltraWave
microwave, or XField electrostatic sensors).

For surface pipelines the

sensor cable is directly
attached to the pipeline and
detects any attempts to drill
into or dismantle the pipeline.
The sensor cable is
intrinsically safe within
explosive atmospheres and
completely immune to all
forms of electromagnetic
energy from radio
communications, radar,
electrical power transmission
equipment and lightning.
